the big deal

Chris,

If you're wondering what the big deal is, i'll tell you: there are too many people with the same cars (like hondas for instance) that all have the same looking mods and stuff. People try to be independent but end out looking the same. Not only do these people argue over who's faster, they boast that they can beat anyone. "Anyone" are the people who hate hondas and other rice burners. When people make their hondas look fast, the think they're bad.... These people make others that own REAL cars hate hondas. SO, hondas are trashed to keep honda owners from thinking thier 16.5 sec cars are fast.

You're hanging around the wrong crowd. That may be the case among the 16 year old street racer crowd, but nowhere is a Civic considered "cream of the crop" among the real "fast" guys. Can they be fast - yes. But there are many, many other cars that can be just as fast if not faster.

Believe it or not, there ARE Hondas that are very fast.

Re: Honda haters?

Why Do i Hate Hondas.. I dont

I Hate Honda Drivers who slap a big fancy wing on the trunk and put a bodykit and some flames on and pull up to my 64 Polara and think they have a chance.

Oh well, Whatever trips your trigger.

Re: Honda haters?

Hondas can bemade to be very fast. 9 and 10 second Civics/CRX's are not uncommon, there is a 7.something arather Civic in the States and PLENTY more running 13's and below.

It's not even that hard, with all the high quality tuning parts available.

You gotta be kidding right? Oh its not hard, you just need about $25,000 + car and you get a un-streetable, unreliable car. For less money I would have a v8 and have something that is streetable/reliable and runs on pump-gas. Hell for THAT much $$ I would sure the hell expect better than a 10sec slip.

Re: Honda haters?

A moment in Highschool revisited...

Upon the first day, he drove his brand new civic to school. And was as cool as the rest of them. The second day behold, sporty seat covers and blue foamy steering wheel cover, his car was stylish as them. Dawn upon the third morning shinned brightly upon the engine mods, composing of an VTech logo and super glue, his car was faster then them. Upon then forth day he tinkered, and into the fifth, and finally the sixth day, the master mechanic finally completed his oil change. Soon to follow the coffee can tip (Screw on, non the less), two rear spoilers, since it was truly a face car, and fog lights (Guess somewhere it says somewhere in the owner manuals that fog lights make you see better at high speeds), and the most important of all, the offical "NOS" sticks on the windows, the most powerful of all upgrades. His car was complete and untouchable. For upon the thirteen day, he laid his car to park, and let the world star in awe as its highly powerful engine and superb exhuast system hummed like a honey bee. Heads turns and eyes glanced slowly, for he was now a god street racing. Up until his world was shattered with the murky red fluid oozed from his window as the cheese burger laid splattered upon his windows (With extra Ketchup). Laughter soon erupted and was drowned out in the sounds of an old Chevy small block 5.0 V8 on open exhuast . And soon was smoked by dozens of cars (Most stock), even a '87 Ford astro van, and most unrespectible of all, my moms minivan as he tryed to pass her in the turning lane at a red light.

And people wonder why people hate honda's since they where at one point the wet dream of all ricers.

a 7 second civic, yippee. and what do you get with that? a completely unpractical car with giant Hoosier tires that cant do shit other than drive in a straight line while looking like a fag. and if its not all that hard, why is there only one?

Re: Re: Re: Honda haters?

Yes, you can drive a 10 second V8 car, in the rain, without compeletely chewing through the tyres. Very simple innit? Fucking hell, people who build drag cars have to be prepared for breakges, but fuck it, I don't drag, that's for idiots with ill-sorted suspension- probably why V8 owners love it so much.

With about US$10,000 work I bet I could turn my EG into a repectable track car that will wipe the floor with most V8 crap. Not bad for a $2000 car, has a good set-up to become an FWD track-monster. Honda are after all, the makers of some of the greatest-ever chassis'.

But I don't have US$10,000, nor do I even have enough to re-buy my car, so I won't do it, I'll jst save money and buy a JDM Intergra Type R, same effect, better engine
